wrong. The Cleveland defense carried him to the finals, in spite of what lebron stans like to believe. It's the same case with 2001 Allen Iverson. People think he singlehandedly carried that team the whole year, when in fact, it was the team defense that overshadowed his mediocre offense. 2007 Cleveland was 18th in offense and 4th in defense. 07 lebron was a defensive liability, so don't even say he was anchoring the defense.
I will give him that game 5 in detroit though. He lit it up. But other than that, his mediocre offense that year was just sufficient enough to get it done, while his team's defense really clamped down opposition.... all done in the weak East against Wizards and NJ. But the Spurs, a real team, exposed them in the end.

dh144498, tell us more about how that amazing defensive cavs team. How did that amazing cavs team defense do after Lebron left? They must have gone deep into the playoffs again the year after with that amazing defense that carried the team right? Dan Gilbert must have been right that the cavs would win the 'ship before lebron would. whoops

must feel so good beating those 41-41 teams without their 2 best players to reach the finals ooohh yeaaaahhh

Magic winning that game 7 without Kareem means he won the series by himself? Ridiculous. Kareem was by far the best player in the series and throughout the playoffs. Then there were players like Norm Nixon and James Wilkes scoring near 20 per game

I didn't say he won the series by himself. I said he proved that he can do it without arguably the greatest basketball player of all time in Kareem and out of position too... as a rookie. So your analogy was flawed as far as bringing up Magic & Kareem goes.

I didn't say just Kareem. I said "Magic without Kareem, Worthy, Mcadoo, Byron Scott. etc"

are you this dumb or just trolling? the year Lebron left is also the year Mike Brown left, who always gets bashed by Lebron stans saying he's a bad coach. But in fact, his genius on the defensive end is what carried Lebron to the finals in 07....

Not once did I mention Kobe, but you get so butthurt from the truth I stated that you just had to find someone else to bash. But since you bring up Kobe: Kobe played with HOF in Shaq and won 3 straight, played with a lesser big in Gasol and went to 3 straight finals and won 2 straight. So he took advantage of his situations and won 5.

Lebron and the Cavs were the heavy favorites in 09 and 10 to win it all but he decided to choke. In 2010 he had a HOF big man playing beside him and still couldn't get it done. in 2011 he decided to join 2 superstar future HOFers in their primes and still got destroyed by the person you pretend to be a fan of. His only success in 2012 was in a lockout season (*).
